  1. you can do it with the car on the ground and IMHO depending upon rusty your end links are I would just leave them attached to the bar and remove them from after you take it out. Also installing this with the suspension loaded and car on the ground is easy. 1. slide under car 2. remove 4 bolts that hold bushings on to mounting points, set aside 3. remove the nut on each side that connect end link to lower arm 4. take unit out as an assembly 5. at work bench remove end links with allen key and wrench 6. install end links onto new bar, tighten nut to specs 7. install bar into car, tighten end link bolts to spec 8 install new bushings on bar and reinstall caps on bushings. done, took me under 30 to do it with electric impact wrench
  2. when I did the studs on my 03 legacy one or two whacks with a regular hammer did the trick...
  3. I would epoxy it in the crack and the back and the front then sand down ssmooth
  4. what did I do to my legacy today? nothing, but yesterday I installed the tap to turn module and it works great. Might want to take the opportunity to clear up those headlights...
  5. It is my understanding that Subaru has quietly updated the service point to 75K for fluid change... My dealer would not do a drain and fill at 30K...
  6. a Taurus / Legacy numbers comparison is not really valid as the Legacy is mid sized and the Taurus is a full sized car... when you get right down to it, Legacy sales are sorely lacking when compared to it's direct competition.. Honda and Toyota whom sell 5 to 6x more Camry/accords...
  7. OK, turns out CVT was not cause of engine stumble, bad MAF sensor
  8. No, by sleeves I mean the short meteal tube that the screw goes through.. it is a spacer that keeps the plastic from getting mushed from over tightening of said screw/nut thing. looks like the one at the bottom except shiny instead of black http://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/131634786109-0-1/s-l1000.jpg
  9. I installed them the way that the OEM Subaru lights were installed 2 screws on inner two mounting points and tabs inserted into outer two mounting points. As I mentioned earlier, you will need to press the sleeves that are on the OEM screws/bolt things into the Ford plastic housing. this will ensure that you do not break the ford plastic mounts when you tighten them down and it will also let you know when they are tight.
  10. another nice thing about the FORD units, they require no adjustment once installed.
  11. first picture in his post but in case you missed it, here is my pix
  12. Update to the above 2003 Legacy is at 123K 2014 Legacy is at 46K mods to 2014 Legacy 1. 20mm rear sway bar 2. Leather steering wheel wrap (the kind you sew on) 3. Rear sway bar braces to reinforce mounting points on car body 4. Ford LED fog lights (those things are wicked sweet) 5. Viofo 1440p dash cam (GPS enabled) hidden wire installation 6. Tap to turn flasher installed. 7. New DEMSO MAF installed at 46K because they Subaru techs despite having access to Subaru's latest and greatest diagnostic equipment, could not figure out what I did with a $12 Panlong BT adapter and a cell phone Up next fix paint and ceramic coat car.
  13. gave my car the week off, driving my wife's car this week since she is back visiting family...
  14. I took my bar and end links out as an assembly, PITB to get them off the bar so I just ordered up new ones and installed them to the bar and then installed the whole assembly into car
  15. yeah I got the Denso one off of Amazon, only took 9 days to get to my house from TX... installed it and IMMEDIATELY the car was running like it should.... end result is I asked SOA to reimburse me for the sensor and the diagnostic fee that I had to pay another dealer who said nothing was wrong.
  16. got a chance to use them this morning and all i can say is WOW.. they are awesome sauce
  17. a Taurus is a full sized car that is not as reliable...and will not last as long... OP yes, they updated the CVT to be more responsive and that is why the car accelerates better...
  18. still waiting for MAF, car has started to develop a really noticeable hesitation when coming off of idle...
  19. OK got them installed IMHO much easier to lift car remove bottom access panel and install. also, writing so you can read it when fog light is installed. 1. remove trim piece 2. reach in hole to side of fog light and use a Philips head screw driver to remove 2 screws on inner 2 tabs on back of light assembly. These are the tabs on the same side as the car's radiator. 3. remove sleeves from screws and press them into left side holes (driver's side light) and right side holes (passenger side) of Ford lights. 4. remove fog light by rotating it and sliding it through fog light hole. 5. unplug Subaru fog light 6. plug in Ford fog light 7. rotate Ford light so you can slip it through hole, use other hand to reach in from hole next to fog and insert the outer tabs into slots. 8. while pushing the light into the tabs, rotate it so you can line up the holes 9. screw in light. 10. Repeat for other side 11. reinstall trim peicees
  20. should be getting those installed today after I swap out MAF sensor
  21. ^ have notice absolutely ZERO difference in how the car rides in day to day driving...other than significantly less leaning in the corners. if there is any downside I have not seen it yet... and I went from 16mm straight to 20mm.. if anything it makes the car more responsive in emergency maneuvers. IE that car goes EXACTLY WHERE YOU POINT IT.
  22. the larger bar keeps the car FLAT during cornering and it also helps immensely with the wandering issues that some people have on the 10-14 cars...
